The 20th edition of the Doha Jewellery & Watches Exhibition (DJWE) is hosting a grand India Pavilion, revealing a remarkable display of craftsmanship, tradition, and contemporary designs. Spanning 216 square metres, the India Pavilion was inaugurated by H.E. Mr. Vipul, Ambassador of India to Qatar.
The DJWE is taking place at the Doha Exhibition & Convention Centre (DECC) from 5th to 11th February 2024. The India Pavilion showcases 17 exhibitors across 18 booths, presenting varied collections of Plain Gold, Studded Jewellery, and Diamond Studded Jewellery.
Speaking at the inauguration, H.E. Mr. Vipul, Ambassador of India to Qatar, said, “Our main job as the embassy is to promote Indian exports and facilitate trade between our two nations. As part of this effort, we actively promote Indian jewellery in Qatar. Doha Jewellery & Watches Exhibition (DJWE) represents a significant opportunity, and I am delighted to see the substantial Indian Pavilion present here. Our close collaboration with GJEPC underscores our commitment to raising awareness and promoting Indian jewellery. In the Qatari market, numerous Indian jewellers are already engaged, either independently or through various partnerships and retailers. Thus, there is already a strong level of brand recognition and appreciation for the quality of Indian jewellery within Qatar.”
Vipul Shah, Chairman, GJEPC, added, “The Middle East is a pivotal export destination for India’s gem and jewellery products, representing a substantial 22% of total exports in this sector. Qatar, in particular, holds significance for India, contributing to the export of gold jewellery, amounting to USD 200.88 million in the fiscal year 2022-23. The India Pavilion at the DJWE serves as a valuable platform to explore and comprehend consumer trends and preferences, particularly from this region, providing an opportunity for further engagement.”
“International buyers from the UAE, the Middle East, Africa, and the rest of the CIS find seamless access to Indian exhibitors through the India Jewellery Exposition Centre (IJEX) in Dubai. Serving as a dedicated B2B platform, IJEX in Dubai is a year-round showcase of exquisite Indian-made jewellery, providing international buyers with continuous opportunities to make jewellery purchases.”
